    AAARGH Not Again!

    My motor locked up again. I am not sure whats wrong this time. It was running OK at the track, and on the last lap of practice, clunk. It just locked up. It will not turn over, it will go in and out of gear, the sparkplug is not torn up, no oil leaking anywhere. hmm Plenty of oil. I am dreading how much it will cost this time. I am thinking of taking it to Legacy and let them build it. I guess modded 4 strokes aint for me.

    It might be that you bent a valve, or one of your valves is way out of wack?

    Chad I dont have the money to go big. I already have a spare head and a spare cyl so if it needs to be bored then i will go back to a 416 and while Im at it get a Sparks pipe and some porting.
    Its weird how it happend, I wasnt revin it, I think I may have been in too high a gear going into the turn and stalled it out and it just stuck. It had been runnin slightly funny all day but not enough to worry me(slight hesitation, seemed rich. very very slight noise from the clutcharea, like a loose bolt, I thought it was my heat sheild rattling though. I had just changed the plug, the old plug was rich lookin with deposits on it, so i put a new one in, and the new one looks lean, hmm maybe trash clogged something and leaned it out. Does a 180 main seem lean to you?
    Hope I get time to see whats wrong.

    Thats weird,,,theres no telling what it was! Going big really isnt that expensive if you do the work yourself,,,just get you a stroker crank and put it together yourself!!!

    Sounds like you may have broke the clutch basket, that happened to me twice.
